3 deps: partially revert commit `v1.11-512-geeee551'
4 This change partly reverts commit "Create subdirs for generated
5 sources even when not dep tracking", of 2011-04-02.
6 That commit had caused the bugs #8485 and #8526. Since we are
7 nearing the bug-fixing automake release 1.11.2, the safest policy
8 at the moment is to just revert the problematic hunks: an older,
9 known bug is better than a regression.
10 * automake.in (handle_single_transform): Don't add a dirstamp
11 dependency, even when $object is derived and lands in a subdir.
12 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add lex-subobj-nodep.test,
13 remove yacc-dist-nobuild-subdir.test.

21 the generated site.exp (still preserving user edits).

48 Extend and improve tests on DejaGnu support.
49 * tests/dejagnu.test: Do not create useless dummy test script.

53 concurrent use of dejagnu tests, simple tests and `check-local'
55 * tests/dejagnu2.test: Make test more reliable, by avoid weak
56 grepping of make output. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to append
57 to configure.in. Quote literal dots in grep regexps. Prefer
58 `grep -c ...' over `grep ... | wc -l'. Make grepping of
59 automake stderr slightly stricter. Add trailing `:' command.
60 * tests/dejagnu3.test: Prefer `cat' over `echo' to append to
61 configure.in. Check stderr of expected-to-fail "make" call.
62 Remove extra blank lines from Makefile.am.
63 * tests/dejagnu4.test: Prefer `cat' over `echo' to append to
64 configure.in. Prefer `mv -f' over plain `mv' when the target
65 file already exists. Avoid extra mkdir calls by creating more
66 directories at once. Better use of blank lines. Check that
67 the `*.log' and `*.sum' files are created by runtest also when
69 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Prefer `cat' over `echo' to append to
70 configure.in. Better use of blank lines. Add a trailing `:'
72 * tests/dejagnu6.test: Likewise, and give the dejagnu test a
73 more descriptive name.
74 * tests/dejagnu5.test: Likewise. Also, simply define package
75 name to `$me' rather than using a non-obvious sed script to
76 extract it from `AC_INIT', and write the Makefile.am with only
78 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

86 tests: fix spurious failures due to missing 'yywrap()' function
88 The AC_PROG_LEX Autoconf macro does not diagnose a failure to find
89 the "lex library" expected to provide a `yywrap' function (function
90 which is required to link most lex-generated programs). On the
91 contrary, when all the link attempts (i.e., with `-ll' and `-lfl')
92 fail, configure declares that no lex library is needed, and simply
93 proceeds with the configuration process -- only for the build to
94 possibly fail later, at make time.
96 This behaviour is intended; the Autoconf manual reads:
97 ``You are encouraged to use Flex in your sources, since it is
98 both more pleasant to use than plain Lex and the C source it
99 produces is portable. In order to ensure portability, however,
100 you must either provide a function `yywrap' or, if you don't use
101 it (e.g., your scanner has no `#include'-like feature), simply
102 include a `%noyywrap' statement in the scanner's source.''
104 This AC_PROG_LEX behaviour is causing some spurious failures of
105 the Automake testsuite in environments which lack a proper library
106 providing `yywrap' (this happens for example on Fedora-based
107 systems). The proper workaround is to simply provide a fall-back
108 implementation of `yywrap' in our lexers.
110 See also partially-overlapping commit `v1.11-871-geb147a1' (from
111 the 'testsuite-work' branch), which was motivated by similar
112 spurious failures experienced when cross-compiling.

125 tests: fix spurious failure with FreeBSD make and Yacc in VPATH
126 * tests/subpkg.test: Some cosmetic adjustments. Move the tests
127 checking that $(YLWRAP) is defined and installed properly when
128 ylwrap is in a default auxdir found in a parent package ...
129 * tests/subpkg-yacc.test: ... into this new test, which carefully
130 avoids to trigger the known bug#7884 (combo FreeBSD make plus Yacc

136 tests: avoid spurious failure in 'parallel-tests3.test'
137 This fixes automake bug#8788.
138 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: To ensure that the serial run of
139 the dummy testsuite is still ongoing when the parallel run has
140 terminated, use `kill -0', not a bare `kill'. This will prevent
141 a testsuite crash on NetBSD 5.1, and a testsuite hang on FreeBSD
142 8.2. Also, since we are at it, try harder to avoid possible
143 hangs of the script in other unusual situations.

147 tests: fix spurious failures with "chatty" make implementations
148 * tests/distcheck-missing-m4.test: On failure, some make
149 implementations (such as Solaris make) print the whole failed
150 recipe on standard output. This was causing a spurious failure
151 in the checks grepping the output from make. Work around this.
152 * tests/distcheck-outdated-m4.test: Likewise.

163 tests: avoid spurious failure of 'uninstall-fail.test' on Solaris
164 * tests/uninstall-fail.test: All the Solaris 10 shells (/bin/sh,
165 /bin/ksh, and /usr/xpg4/bin/sh), upon failing to chdir to a
166 directory with the `cd' builtin, print a message like:
167 "sh: /root: permission denied"
168 which doesn't report the `cd' builtin anywhere. Relax the grepping
169 of the error message accordingly.

178 tests: avoid spurious failure of 'uninstall-fail.test' on Cygwin

180 on systems that allows files to be removed from unwritable
181 directories. Motivated by a spurious failure on Cygwin 1.5.
183 2011-10-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
185 tests: fix spurious failure with autoconf 2.62
186 * tests/aclocal-path-precedence.test: Rewrite configure.in,
187 rather than appending to it, to avoid spurious failures (at
188 least with autoconf 2.62) due to repeated calls to AC_INIT.
189 Also, add package name and version arguments to AC_INIT, to
190 avoid spurious errors from automake.

196 * doc/automake.texi (VPATH Builds): Avoid using colon character
197 `:' inside arguments of @pxref, as this can cause problems in
198 the generated `.info' files, and such an usage will be explicitly
199 forbidden by future texinfo documentation.

207 the directory to be checked is expected to be found into as
208 an optional parameter, rather than reading it from the global
209 variable `$relative_dir'.

224 2011-10-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
226 parallel-tests: don't allow @substitutions@ in TEST_EXTENSIONS
227 Even after the last commit `v1.11-476-g90bea64', the checks
228 performed by automake on entries in $(TEST_EXTENSIONS) tried to
229 allow for @substitited@ stuff. This however ends up allowing
230 quite brittle setups, which, most importantly, are of no real
231 practical usefulness anyway. So it's better to just disallow
232 @substitutions@ in TEST_EXTENSIONS altogether, offering a clear
233 error message, instead of risking weird bugs and unexpected
234 behaviors in the generated Makefile.in.
235 * automake.in ($TEST_EXTENSION_PATTERN): Turned from a regular
237 (is_valid_test_extension): ... into this subroutine. Don't allow
238 generic @substitutions@ anymore (possibly making an exception for
239 `@EXEEXT@' under the proper circumstances).

510 the deprecated. `--acdir'.

564 automake: fix regression due to de-ansification support removal
565 The last change `v1.11-947-g136b489' removed code that automake
566 was using to decide whether binary objects were built by the
567 generated Makefile.in, so that it could avoid to emit unneeded
568 code when this was not the case. Re-introduce such code in a
569 less-obfuscated form, and add a test to ensure we don't regress
571 * automake.in ($must_handle_compiled_objects): New global
572 variable, telling whether the generated Makefile has to build

716 parallel-tests: no more spurious successes for FreeBSD make
717 Work around a bug of FreeBSD make bug that was causing the
718 automake-generated "check" target to complete with success
719 even if some tests failed; this happened only when FreeBSD
720 make was run in concurrent mode (as in, e.g., "make -j2
721 check"). The bug is not present in NetBSD make.
722 This change fixes automake bug#9245:
723 <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=9245>
724 See also FreeBSD PR bin/159730:
725 <http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=159730>
726 * lib/am/check.am [%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] $(TEST_SUITE_LOG): Use a
727 more "safe" (and apparently redundant) idiom to exit with error,
728 so that the non-zero exit status is picked up also by FreeBSD
729 make when it's running in concurrent mode.
731 * tests/check-concurrency-bug9245.test: New test.
732 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

742 coverage: possible infinite recursion in the test harness
743 Motivated by a regression in the 'test-protocols' branch.
744 * tests/parallel-tests-fork-bomb.test: New test, checking that
745 if $(TEST_SUITE_LOG) is in $(TEST_LOGS), we obtain a diagnosed
746 error rather than a make hang or a fork bomb.
747 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
749 2011-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
751 test defs: yet more environment cleanup

756 tests: fix various blunders in 'suffix-chain.test'
757 * tests/suffix-chain.test: Fix various blunders that were causing
758 this test to fail spuriously: append to `configure.in', not to
759 `configure.ac'; add a `;' character after the `return' statement
760 in an input file; use tabs, not spaces, to indent Makefile recipes;
761 and use more uncommon suffixes that don't trigger built-in recipes

766 tests: don't let a known Solaris make bug poison too many tests
767 See automake bug#7670 and bug#7824.
768 * tests/defs (make_can_chain_suffix_rules): New function, tell
769 whether the make implementation in use can chain suffix rules
770 automatically or not.
771 * tests/suffix3.test: Use it to avoid issuing calls to make that
772 are unportable to make implementations that are not smart enough
773 to chain suffix rules automatically.
774 * tests/suffix8.test: Use it to avoid issuing calls to make that
775 * tests/suffix10.test: Use it to avoid issuing calls to make that
776 * tests/suffix11.test: Use it to avoid issuing calls to make that
777 * tests/suffix-chain.test: New test, exposes the limitation that
778 we have papered over in the tests above.
780 2011-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
782 gitignore: more use of anchors
783 * .gitignore: Anchor files that are intended to be ignored only
784 if found in the same directory of the `.gitignore' file, not also
785 in its subdirectories.
786 * doc/.gitignore, doc/amhello/.gitignore, lib/Automake/.gitignore,
787 lib/Automake/tests/.gitignore, tests/.gitignore: Likewise. Also,
788 where needed, add new entries that were once implied by the
789 non-anchored entries in the upper-level `.gitignore' files.

793 testsuite: avoid spurious failure of self checks on Solaris
794 This is just a quick workaround to prevent having too much noise
795 in the testsuite; more proper fixes have been committed into the
796 'testsuite-work' branch.
797 * tests/self-check-dir.test: Relax a test to avoid unimportant
798 failure on Solaris 10.
799 * tests/self-check-exit.test: Likewise.

809 tests: fix spurious failure with Solaris make
810 * tests/distcheck-configure-flags-am.test: Avoid using `+=' too
811 liberally with AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS, since the line breaks
812 so introduced, in conjunction with single quotes, might confuse
815 2011-08-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
817 maintcheck: fix maintainer-check failures, both real and spurious
818 * tests/amhello-binpkg.test: Use "$MAKE", not bare "make".
819 * Makefile.am (sc_perl_local): Also allow perl special variable
820 `$~' to be localized. And be slightly laxer in the regexp, to
821 allow for usages like "local $_ = $foo;".
822 (sc_tests_overriding_macros_on_cmdline): Also allow for command
823 line overriding of the `DISABLE_HARD_ERRORS' make variable. Try
824 to avoid false positives for usages like "$MAKE || st=$?".

834 tests: relax a test on amhello examples to cater to Solaris tar
835 * tests/amhello-binpkg.test: When the tar implementation in use
836 is not GNU tar, relax the tests on tar output, to avoid spurious
837 failures. For example, "tar cvf ..." with GNU tar can output
838 lines like "./usr/bin/hello" on the standard output, while with
839 Solaris tar it can output lines like "a ./usr/bin/hello 8K" on
840 standard output, and with Heirloom tar it can output lines like
841 "a ./usr/bin/hello 15 tape blocks" on standard error.

845 test defs: function 'is_newest' now works also with directories

865 tests: fix weakness in 'tests-environment-backcompat.test'
866 * tests/tests-environment-backcompat.test: Do not override the

868 fails unconditionally: the test must fail only when the 'strict'
869 pragma is in use, in order not to reduce coverage.

879 tests: portability fixes in tests on amhello examples
880 * tests/amhello-binpkg.test: Don't use "tar xzf too.tag.gz" to

940 docs: fix unportable example of AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT usage
941 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): The
942 old example on AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT relied on unportable shell
943 features, and in particular didn't work with various Korn
944 Shells (see also commit `v1.11-925-g29ca903'). Give another
945 example, simpler this time, but still inspired to real-world
946 usage (the GNU coreutils testsuite).

950 docs: avoid a footnote, some related rewordings and improvements

955 2011-06-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
957 docs: minor cosmetic fixes
958 * doc/automake.texi: Break few overly long lines, throughout the
960 ("Simple Tests"): Move @vindex for XFAIL_TESTS to the correct
961 position, i.e., before and not after the paragraph where it is
963 ("Options" @item ansi2knr): Use @pxref instead of @xref. This
964 fixes a texinfo warning.
965 ("Other things Automake recognizes" @item AM_C_PROTOTYPES): Use
966 @pxref instead of @ref.

1025 check: don't use multi-line coloring for the report
1026 "less -R" can't handle multi-line coloring as it is done for the
1027 check reports of the serial and parallel testsuite, because of
1028 performance reasons. Thus, color each line of the check report

1031 color each line by its own.

1044 AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS shouldn't be used. Give an example
1045 of where its use is legitimate.

1092 tests: more checks on portable fd redirection in TESTS_ENVIRONMENT
1093 * tests/tests-environment-fd-redirect.test: Extend by also using
1094 a perl script among the tests. Run the test shell script with
1095 the `errexit' flag active. Export `VERBOSE' to yes when running
1096 "make check", to give more debugging information in case of
1097 failures. Look for a Korn Shell also in `/usr/bin', not on only

1102 tests: optimize tests on primary/prefix mismatch for speed
1103 * tests/primary-prefix-invalid-couples.test: Partial rewrite, in
1104 order to use just a single automake invocation rather than one
1105 invocation for each invalid primary/prefix couple. This improves
1106 the test script execution time by an order of magnitude.
1107 Since we are at it, throw in some other improvements to avoid
1108 unrelated automake warnings and failures that could potentially
1109 cause false positives w.r.t. the automake exit status.

1121 on the make command line. Update comments accordingly. Since we
1122 are at it, make the relevant grepping rules slightly tighter.

1126 distcheck: add support for AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS
1127 * doc/automake.texi (Checking the Distribution): Suggest to use
1128 AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS, not DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS, to
1129 define (in the top-level Makefile.am) extra flags to be passed
1130 to configure at "make distcheck" time; DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS
1131 should be reserved for the user. Add proper `@vindex' directive.
1132 Document that AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS is not honoured in a
1133 subpackage Makefile.am, but the flags in it are passed down to
1134 the configure script of the subpackage.
1135 * lib/am/distdir.am (distcheck): Also pass the flags in
1136 $(AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS) to the configure invocation.
1138 * tests/defs.in.test (AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS,

1197 test defs: new function 'fatal_', for hard errors
1198 Before this patch, the only way offered by tests/defs to
1199 properly signal a hard error was the `framework_failure_'
1200 function. But the error message issued by that function,
1201 as its name would suggest, refers to a set-up failure in the
1202 testsuite, while hard errors can obviously also be due to
1203 other reasons. The best way to fix this inconsistency is to
1204 introduce a new function with a more general error message.
1205 Inspired by a recent similar change to Gnulib's tests/init.sh.
1206 * tests/defs.in (fatal_): New function.
1207 * tests/README (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
1208 Suggest the use of `fatal_', not of `framework_failure_', for
1209 generic hard errors. The latter should be reserved for "real"

1229 2011-06-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1231 py-compile: normalize error and help messages
1232 * lib/py-compile: Now error messages do not begin with a capital
1233 letter, nor end with a period, as per GNU standards. Prepend the
1234 error messages with the name of the script, not with its path.
1235 When an invalid usage is recognized, always display the customary
1236 message "Try `py-compile --help' ..." on a line of its own.
1237 ($me): New variable, containing the name of the
1238 program, i.e., `py-compile'. Use it throughout.
1239 (usage_error): New function, used to display error messages about
1241 * tests/py-compile-usage.test: Extend and tighten accordingly.

1275 tests: fix typo-related error in auxdir2.test
1276 * tests/auxdir2.test (configure.in): Close m4 quoting in the
1277 argument to AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR. Without this, aclocal fails with
1278 "ERROR: end of file in string". This problem hasn't been exposed
1279 by the testsuite before because this test is in XFAIL_TESTS, so
1280 its failure went unnoticed, even if it was due to a wrong cause.

1299 (sc_diff_aclocal_in_aclocal): New maintainer check, similar to
1300 the above, and checking that only 10 lines are changed from
1301 `aclocal.in' to `aclocal'.
1302 (syntax_check_rules): Update.
1303 (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Exempt self tests `self-check-*.test'

1307 a line. Typo introduced in commit `v1.11-312-g5bf7af6'.
1308 * tests/depcomp8a.test: Pass DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS to make

1316 remake: behave better with non-GNU make in subdirectories
1317 Currently, with every decent make program, it is possible to
1318 rebuild out-of-date autotools-generated files with a simple
1319 "make Makefile" -- but for this to work reliably with non-GNU
1320 make implementations, the command must be issued from the
1321 top-level directory. This patch removes such limitation.

1331 automake, aclocal: honour configure-time AUTOCONF and AUTOM4TE
1332 Currently, the Automake's own configure script allow definition
1333 of AUTOCONF and AUTOM4TE, expected to point respectively to an
1334 autoconf and autom4te programs. But while these definitions are
1335 honoured in the Automake's build systems and test suite, they
1336 were *not* honoured in the generated `automake' and `aclocal'
1337 scripts. This behaviour, apart from being wrong in that it does
1338 not allow the user enough freedom in choosing his tools, also
1339 caused inconsistencies in the test suite, brining to spurious
1341 Problem reported by Graham Reitz on the automake list; see thread:
1342 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2011-05/msg00022.html>
1343 * automake.in ($traces): Use `@am_AUTOCONF', not simply `autoconf'.
1344 * aclocal.in ($traces): Use `@am_AUTOM4TE', not simply `autom4te'.
1345 * Makefile.am (do_subst): Substitute also `@am_AUTOCONF' and
1350 2011-05-29 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1352 build: the user can override AUTOM4TE, AUTORECONF and AUTOUPDATE too
1353 Our build system allows the user to override AUTOCONF and AUTOHEADER
1354 at configure time, and honours these overrides in our testsuite.
1355 But it didn't do the same with AUTOM4TE, AUTORECONF and AUTOUPDATE.
1356 This change fixes that inconsistency.
1357 * configure.ac (am_AUTOM4TE, am_AUTOUPDATE, am_AUTORECONF): New
1358 AC_SUBSTitutions. Update comments.
1359 * tests/defs.in ($AUTOUPDATE): Default to `@am_AUTOUPDATE@' now.
1360 ($AUTOM4TE): New variable, defaulting to `@am_AUTOM4TE@'.
1361 ($AUTORECONF): New variable, defaulting to `@am_AUTORECONF@'.

1366 parallel-tests: stricter checks on DISABLE_HARD_ERRORS support
1367 * tests/parallel-tests-harderror.test: New test, doing more

1374 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1376 tests/README: fix example about `make -e' usage
1377 * tests/README (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"): When
1378 some variable is never initialized in the Makefile, `-e' is not
1379 necessary in order to override it. DESTDIR is such a variable: we
1380 ensure that we do not ever initialize it. And as such, it is quite
1382 $ make DESTDIR=/foo/bar install
1383 and in fact, quite widely used.
1384 So our example about when `make -e' is required, which references
1385 the `DESTDIR' variable, is poorly chosen, if not downright wrong.
1386 Rewrite it to use `prefix' as the overridden variable instead.
1388 2011-05-27 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1390 testsuite: each test case depends on `defs-static'
1391 * tests/Makefile.am ($(TEST_LOGS)): Depends on `defs-static' too.
1394 2011-05-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1396 testsuite: avoid re-running few tests with 'parallel-tests' option
1397 Some tests in our testsuite use the 'simple-tests' driver only
1398 marginally, or simply as a mean to conveniently check unrelated
1399 invariants. It makes little sense to force these tests to also
1400 run with the 'parallel-tests' Automake option active, as doing so
1401 offers no real gain in coverage, while often causing a measurable
1402 overhead in execution time (for an already too-slow testsuite).
1403 * tests/pr401.test (parallel_tests): Define to "no", to prevent
1404 the generation of a sibling test script using the 'parallel-tests'
1406 * tests/pr401b.test: Likewise.
1407 * tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
1408 * tests/java-flat.test: Likewise, and properly update heading
1410 * tests/java-nested.test: Likewise, but defining `parallel_tests'
1411 to "yes" instead, for improved coverage in conjunction with the
1412 sister test `java-flat.test'.
1414 2011-05-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1416 testsuite: allow tests to avoid the use of 'parallel-tests' option
1417 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Do not generate "siblings" for tests
1418 that explicitly define the `parallel_tests', whether to "yes" or
1419 to any other value. Extend heading comments to give a rationale
1421 * tests/README: Update.
1423 2011-05-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1425 tests/README: update obsoleted advice
1426 * tests/README (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
1427 Do not suggest to use the `*-p.test' pattern for the names of
1428 hand-written tests which use the `parallel-tests' Automake option.
1429 Not only is this not respected by the existing tests, but it is
1430 more likely to cause conflicts with auto-generated tests.
1431 So, suggest to *avoid* using the `*-p.test' pattern in names
1432 of hand-written tests instead.
1433 (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do not"): When
1434 suggesting not to override Makefile variables using command
1435 line arguments, do not use the badly outdated variables `U'
1436 and 'ANSI2KNR' in the example; instead, use the more common
1437 and typical `DESTDIR'.

1441 test defs: rename requirement 'non-cross' -> 'native'

1445 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.

1469 the newly documented idiom and similar usages are truly supported.
1470 * tests/parallel-tests-log-override-2.test: Likewise.
1471 * tests/parallel-tests-log-override-recheck.test: Likewise.
1472 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
1474 2011-05-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1476 tests: fix spurious failure of txinfo21.test on FreeBSD
1477 * tests/txinfo21.test: Use the `is_newest' subroutine instead of
1478 the `ls -t' hack to to determine whether a file has been updated.
1479 This is required because at least FreeBSD `ls' do not sort files
1480 with the same timestamp in alphabetical order when using the `-t'
1483 2011-05-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1485 tests: fix spurious failure of extradep.test on FreeBSD
1486 * tests/extradep.test: When using `ls -t' to determine whether a
1487 file has been updated, make sure to use as reference a file whose
1488 timestamp is expected to be *strictly* older that that of the file
1489 being checked. This is required because at least FreeBSD `ls' do
1490 not sort files with the same timestamp in alphabetical order when
1491 using the `-t' option.
1492 * tests/extradep2.test: Likewise.
1494 2011-05-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1496 tests defs: use `skip_' for skipping java-related tests
1497 * tests/defs.in (java, javac): Use `skip_' to signal test
1500 2011-05-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1502 tests defs: allow requirements for compilers (mostly dummy)
1503 Most of the new requirements that are now accepted in `$required'
1504 as consequence of this patch are still dummy. They are planned
1505 to be implemented only in master (or in some derived branch), but
1506 having them here (even just as no-op) will allow for an easier
1507 integration/backporting of potential new testcases.
1508 * tests/defs.in (cc, c++, fortran, fortran77): New requirements,
1510 (flex): New requirement, picking LEX for configure.
1511 (lex): New requirement, alias for `flex'. A more appropriate
1512 implementation, looking for a generic `lex' program, will follow
1515 2011-05-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1517 tests: add forgotten test scripts to $(TESTS)
1518 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Added test scripts man[678].test,
1519 which have been present on the filesystem and in the repository,
1520 but which had erroneously been left out from $(TESTS).
1522 2011-05-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1524 tests: ensure verbose printing of captured make output

1529 2011-05-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1531 tests: fix spurious failure in 'color2.test'
1532 * tests/color2.test: If $MAKE contains command-line arguments (as
1533 in e.g., "make -j2"), expect's directive "spawn $env(MAKE)" fails
1534 spuriously, because it tries to run "$MAKE" as a single command.
1535 Fix this with proper uses of the TCL `eval' builtin.
1537 2011-05-01 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1539 tests: fix self check spurious failure with older bash versions
1540 * tests/self-check-cleanup.test: Add trailing `:' to the test code
1541 passed to $SHELL, otherwise older versions of bash (at least 2.05
1542 and 3.2.39) fail to correctly remove the temporary directory in
1545 2011-04-29 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1547 testsuite: more environment sanitization
1548 * tests/defs: Move the checks verifying that the variables `me',
1549 `parallel_tests' and `required' aren't set in the environment ...
1550 * tests/defs-static.in: ... in here, with some optimizations to
1551 avoid useless forks. Also, do the same checks for the variables
1552 `original_AUTOMAKE' and `original_ACLOCAL' too.
1553 * tests/self-check-env-sanitize.test: Update.
1554 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset also variables
1555 `original_AUTOMAKE' and `original_ACLOCAL'.
1557 2011-04-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1559 tests: fix spurious failure (non-renamed AM_TESTS_SETUP usage)
1560 * tests/parallel-tests-reset-term.test: Use AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT
1561 instead of AM_TESTS_SETUP (which has been removed in commit
1562 v1.11-349-g12f48fa).
1563 Fix spurious failure introduced by merge `v1.11-781-gfeed175'.
1565 2011-04-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1567 tests: fix spurious failure in a test on TESTS (VPATH-related)
1568 * tests/check-tests-in-builddir.test: When not using the
1569 parallel-tests option, do not check that VPATH components are
1570 not present in the displayed test name, since the simple-tests
1571 driver do not try to strip them.
1573 2011-04-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1575 tests: fix spurious failure in self-check-env-sanitize.test

1587 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1589 test defs: new subroutines for test skipping/failing
1590 * tests/defs.in (Exit): Move definition of this function earlier.
1591 (warn_, skip_, fail_, framework_failure_): New functions, inspired
1592 to the homonyms in gnulib's tests/init.sh.
1593 ($stderr_fileno_): New global variable, used by the new functions
1595 * tests/README: Updated.
1596 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
1598 2011-04-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1600 tests: fix typo (copy & paste blunder) in heading comment
1601 * tests/maintclean-vpath.test: Correctly refer to the sister test
1602 as `maintclean.test', not as `maintclean-vpath.test'.
1604 2011-04-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1606 tests: remove redundant test `mclean.test'

1634 a "UNIX-style" java program (complete with wrapper shell script
1635 and the like) with a "flat" source-tree setup (i.e., everything in
1636 the top-level directory).
1637 * tests/java-compile-nested.test: Likewise, but using a more
1638 typical "nested" source-tree setup.
1639 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

1648 java tests: tweak and make stricter a couple of tests
1649 * tests/javasubst.test: Use proper m4 quoting. Add trailing `:'
1650 command. Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related changes.
1651 Prefer cat + here-doc over echo to append to configure.in.
1652 Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add debugging output.

1673 prefix, when needed.

1687 testsuite: more environment sanitization
1688 * tests/defs.in: Sanity check: abort if any of `parallel_tests'
1689 or `required' is in the environment.
1690 ($sed_unindent_prog): Initialize to empty, to avoid interferences
1691 from the environment.
1692 * tests/self-check-me-in-env.test: Renamed to ...

1696 `required'. Adjust comments.
1698 2011-04-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1700 tests: in self-checks, use $SHELL, not /bin/sh

1718 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
1720 2011-04-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1722 check: rename AM_TESTS_SETUP -> AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT
1723 The AM_TESTS_SETUP naming was not a good one after all. It may
1724 be technically more correct than AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT, but the
1725 latter is a better one simply because it is easier to remember,
1726 and even if you've never heard of it and only know the semantics
1727 of TESTS_ENVIRONMENT, you can have a straightforward way to
1728 figure out how AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT would work.
1729 * tests/check.am (am__check_pre): Update.
1730 * doc/automake.in (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Update.

1929 test defs: fix 'javac' requirement for older JDK versions
1930 The Java compiler from JDK 1.5 (and presumably earlier versions)
1931 cannot handle the `-version' option by itself; and while it does
1932 print the version number, it then errors out with an usage error:
1935 javac: no source files
1936 Usage: javac <options> <source files>
1938 Luckily, adding the `-help' option to the `javac' invocation
1939 seems to fix this problem.

2067 maintcheck: look for problematic names of testcases
2068 The configure.in stub created by default by `tests/defs' obtains
2069 the first argument of AC_INIT from the test name, and this can
2070 cause some supported autoconf versions to fail with a spurious
2071 error if that test name contains the name of an m4 or m4sugar
2072 builtin or macro (e.g., `defn' or `m4_undefine').
2073 See for example the bug fixed by commit v1.11-287-g1325a8a.

2163 libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES primary is used
2164 When the LTLIBRARIES primary was used, but $(LIBTOOL) wasn't
2165 defined, automake suggested to add a call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
2166 in configure.ac. But that macro is deprecated since Libtool
2167 version 1.9b (2004-08-29), in favor of the newer LT_INIT. So
2168 suggest the use of this latter macro instead.
2169 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_am_macro_for_var): Pair 'LIBTOOL'
2170 with 'LT_INIT', not with 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'.

2172 macro AC_PROG_CC in configure.in, to help ensuring that automake
2173 does not fail for the wrong reasons.

2180 tests: add testcases sanity-checking the testsuite
2181 Helper subroutines, variables and other pieces of code defined
2182 in the `tests/defs' and used by many testcases are non-obvious,
2183 and tricky to get to work portably; but until now, they weren't
2184 tested at all in a clear and self-contained way.
2185 This change should remedy to the situation.
2186 * tests/self-check-cleanup.test: New test, check removal of
2187 temporary test working directory by `./defs'.

2189 `./defs' create a proper temporary directory, and run in it.
2190 * tests/self-check-exit.test: New test, check that, in case of
2191 failing commands, the correct exit status is passed to the exit
2192 trap installed by the `./defs' script.
2193 * tests/self-check-is_newest.test: New test, checking the
2194 `is_newest' subroutine.
2195 * tests/self-check-me.test: New test, checking that $me gets
2196 defined automatically by `tests/defs' if not set, and that it
2197 can be overridden from either the shell or the environment.
2198 * tests/self-check-sanity.test: New test, check that the sanity
2199 checks performed by the `tests/defs' script works correctly.
2200 * tests/self-check-unindent.test: New test, checking the
2201 `unindent' subroutine.

2247 tests: optimize `instspc-*.test' for speed
2248 After the split of `instspc.test' into various generated tests,
2249 the running time of the testsuite has noticeably increased, since
2250 all these new generated tests must run aclocal, autoconf and
2251 automake, whereas previously they were run only once (at the
2252 beginning of `instspc.test'). But luckily, since the new tests
2253 share the same input files for the autotools, this situation can
2254 be easily worked around (at the expenses of a slight increase of
2255 complexity for the testsuite scaffolding).
2256 * tests/instspc-data.test: New helper test, properly calling
2257 the `instspc-tests.sh' script to generate input data for the
2258 others `instspc-*.test' tests.
2259 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add `instspc-data.test'.
2260 ($(instspc_tests:.test=.log)): Depend on its log file.
2261 (instspc-data.log): Depend on `instspc-tests.sh'.
2262 * tests/instspc-tests.sh: Recognize new action `generate-data',
2263 and use it to create hand-written and autotools-generated static
2264 files shared by all the `instspc-*.test' tests.
2265 When sourced by the `instspc-*.test' tests, use those previously
2266 created files instead of recreating them from scratch.
2267 (unindent, create_input_data): New subroutines.
2268 Some other related changes and refactorings.

2275 by exporting CONFIG_SITE=/dev/null. Be laxer in matching the
2276 expected values of output variables `pythondir' and `pyexecdir',
2277 since they can change quite unpredictably among different python
2278 installations. Also, avoid "hyping" debugging output, thus
2279 offering smaller trace output and more informative diff.

2302 Make grepping of generated Makefile.in laxer w.r.t. whitespace.
2303 Add trailing `:' command.

2327 "make install" results, prefer idioms that make verbose logs
2328 more helpful. Remove a couple of lines of dead code. Add a
2329 trailing `:' command.

2331 the check on the python version even when the choice of the python
2332 interpreter is forced by the user.

2410 tests: fix spurious failures in yflags*.test
2411 * tests/yflags.test: Remove 'YACC' from the environment, so
2412 that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'.
2413 * tests/yflags2.test: Likewise.
2415 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2417 tests: avoid fn99*.test failures due to buggy AIX 5.3 cp -R.
2418 * tests/fn99.test, tests/fn99subdir.test: Skip if an initial
2419 `cp -R' of the subdir tree already fails; AIX 5.3 cp messes
2420 up its internal memory when copying this tree.
2422 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2423 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2425 Add comment to check-TESTS rule working around make 3.80 bug.
2426 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Update comment.
2428 2011-01-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2430 tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again.
2431 * tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one
2432 double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure.
2434 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2436 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
2437 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components
2438 that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'. Move protection as early
2439 as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='.
2440 * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.
2441 Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1.
2443 2011-01-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2444 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2446 docs: automake testsuite doesn't use TESTS_ENVIRONMENT anymore
2447 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Do not claim Automake uses
2448 TESTS_ENVIRONMENT for the perl driver. Instead, point to the
2449 parallel-tests driver.
2451 2011-01-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2453 tests: check for presence of cscope with redirected input.
2454 * tests/defs: Add required test for cscope.
2455 Fixes cscope3.test hang with Sun C 5.9 cscope.
2457 tests: avoid false failure in cygnus-dependency-tracking.test.
2458 * tests/cygnus-dependency-tracking.test: Be less restrictive
2459 when grepping the compiler error message, GCC 3.4.6 on FreeBSD
2460 does not mention an undefined symbol.
2462 2011-01-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2464 tests: revert not turning off errexit in instspc-test.sh
2465 * tests/instspc-tests.sh: Turn off errexit while sourcing defs,
2466 the scripts might still not be clean.
2468 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2470 tests: work around Tru64 sh -e issues for instspc*.test.
2471 Apparently, Tru64 sh does not like turning off errexit mode,
2473 * tests/defs: Document 'errexit' cleanliness requirement.
2474 * tests/defs-static.in: Likewise. Avoid error from command
2475 substitution to abort instspc*.test with Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh.
2476 * tests/instspc-tests.sh: Drop now-unneeded temporary errexit
2477 dropping. Add strategic '|| Exit' to let tests work on Tru64.
2479 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2481 Allow _AM_DEPENDENCIES to be used later in configure.
2482 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Remove a previously existing
2483 conftest.dir before recreating it.
2485 Report by Eric Blake, from report by Scott McCreary against M4.
2487 2011-01-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2489 tests: avoid failure on w32 file systems.
2490 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: SKIP if file cannot
2491 be turned unreadable.
2493 2011-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2495 tests: allow double-colon spy.test to work with HP-UX make.
2496 * tests/spy.test: Fix comment typos. Ensure prerequisites we
2497 do not want to depend on are strictly older than the target.
2498 Also test with a target out of date wrt. more than one rule.
2500 2011-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2502 Avoid local $_ perl variable, for Perl before 5.9.1.
2503 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Do not
2504 lexically localize $_. Fixes bootstrap on AIX 5.1.
2505 Bug introduced in commit `v1.11-622-gf90a06c'.
2507 2011-01-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2509 tests: remove useless requirements from cond36.test
2510 * tests/cond36.test ($required): Remove.
2511 Since we are at it, add a trailing `:' command.
2513 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2515 tests: avoid failing command substitution in errexit mode.
2516 * tests/vartypo2.test, tests/vartypos.test: Rewrite to not use
2517 a command substitution with a nonzero exit status, that causes
2518 IRIX and Tru64/OSF sh to fail the whole test.
2520 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2521 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2523 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
2524 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
2525 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid
2526 exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin.
2527 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test.
2528 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
2531 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2533 * NEWS, README: Update copyright years.
2535 2011-01-15 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2537 tests: hard error in case of internal failures or signal caught
2538 * tests/defs: Exit with status 99 (hard error) rather than
2539 1 (failure) on unexpected/internal errors, or when a signal
2540 is caught by the client script.
2542 Tests defs: don't let useless variables leak in test scripts.
2543 * tests/defs ($priv_check_temp, $overwrite_status, $ro_dir_temp,
2544 $create_status, $r2h, $libtool_found, $gettext_found, $aclocaldir,
2545 $extra_includes): Unset once they've served their purpose.
2547 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2549 Fix parallel-tests.test failure with HP-UX make.
2550 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Sleep inside inner tests, so logs
2551 are newer than logs of tests they depend on, for HP-UX make.
2553 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2555 docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input
2556 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal, Emacs Lisp, Rebuilding)
2557 (API Versioning, Renamed Objects, Multiple Outputs): Add empty
2558 lines before `@example' and after `@end example' lines, so info
2559 output is rendered correctly, and a following @noindent honored.
2560 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
2562 2011-01-15 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
2564 tests: fix comment typo
2565 * tests/substref.test: Fix grammar in a comment.

2569 tests: fix spurious failures in two texinfo tests
2570 * tests/txinfo.test ($required): Add 'makeinfo'.
2571 * tests/txinfo8.test: Create a dummy 'textutils.info' file, so
2572 that make won't try to run makeinfo (which could be unavailable)
2574 Found by NixOS Hydra, reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
2576 2011-01-15 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2578 Update docs w.r.t. warning and strictness options.
2579 * doc/automake.texi (Strictness): Document that some warnings are
2580 turned off by default in `foreign' strictness.
2581 (Options): Divide into new sections "Options generalities" and
2582 "List of Automake options". Fix typo (colon instead of full
2583 stop). Document option precedence (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS wins over
2584 AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE which wins over command line). Also document
2585 interactions between options specifying strictness and those
2586 specifying warnings.
2588 More tests on warnings/strictness precedence.
2589 * tests/warning-groups-win-over-strictness.test: New test, similar
2590 to `warnings-win-over-strictness.test', but checking the explicit
2591 catch-all warning flags (like `-Wall' and `-Wnone').
2592 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
2594 Update NEWS about the warnings-over-strictness precedence.
2595 * NEWS: Automake explicit warning levels always take precedence
2596 over the implicit warning levels implied by Automake strictness.
2598 For PR automake/547:
2599 Warnings win over strictness in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
2600 Ensure that, for what concerns the options specified in
2601 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS, explicitly-defined warnings always take
2602 precedence over implicit strictness-implied warnings.
2603 This finally fixes Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547.
2604 * automake.in (handle_options): Call 'process_option_list'
2605 only once per set of options.
2606 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (process_global_option_list,
2607 process_option_list): Add sanity checks.
2608 ($_options_processed, $_global_options_processed): New
2609 internal variables, used by the sanity checks above.
2610 * tests/warnings-win-over-strictness.test: Extend.
2612 For PR automake/547:
2613 Change signature of 'Automake::Options::_process_option_list()'.
2614 This only modifies internal details in the automake implementation,
2615 bearing no externally visible effect, but preparing the way for the
2616 final fix of Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547.
2617 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept as
2618 arguments a list of hash references with keys 'option' and 'where',
2619 where 'option' is an option as might occur in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS or
2620 AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, and 'where' is the location where it occurred.
2621 (process_option_list, process_global_option_list): Updated.
2622 * automake.in (handle_options, scan_autoconf_traces): Update.
2624 Add more tests about AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
2625 In view of soon-to-follow refactorings (still in the pursuit of a
2626 fix for Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547), add some more tests on
2627 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS support, to prevent obvious regressions.
2628 * tests/amopts-variable-expansion.test: New test.
2629 * tests/amopts-location.test: Likewise.
2630 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
2632 For PR automake/547:
2633 Warnings win over strictness in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
2634 This change ensures that, for what concerns the options specified
2635 in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, explicitly-defined warnings always take
2636 precedence over implicit strictness-implied warnings. Related to
2637 Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547.
2638 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Parse explicit
2639 warnings only after the strictness level has been set. Fix POD
2641 * tests/warnings-win-over-strictness.test: Extend.
2643 For PR automake/547:
2644 Warnings win over strictness on command line.
2645 Ensure that, on the command line at least, explicitly defined
2646 warnings always take precedence over implicit strictness-implied
2647 warnings. Related to Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547.
2648 * automake.in (parse_arguments): Parse warnings only after the
2649 strictness level has been processed.
2650 * tests/gnuwarn.test: Update, plus miscellaneous improvements.
2651 * tests/warnings-win-over-strictness.test: New test.
2652 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
2654 More tests on warnings and strictness.
2655 * tests/warnings-strictness-interactions.test: New test.
2656 * tests/warnings-unknown.test: Likewise.
2657 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
2659 New test on silent-rules mode and portability warnings.
2660 * tests/silent-nowarn.test: New test.
2661 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
2663 Add new tests on strictness and warnings precedence and overriding.
2664 * tests/strictness-override.test: New test.
2665 * tests/strictness-precedence.test: New test.
2666 * tests/warnings-override.test: New test.
2667 * tests/warnings-precedence.test: New test.

2697 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2699 tests: avoid spurious failures due to fork failure in test setup
2700 * tests/defs: Ensure $me is always nonempty, to avoid spurious
2701 failures on MinGW/MSYS in case the preceding sed command could
2704 Avoid configure warnings from wait about reused PIDs.
2705 * m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): Hide wait stderr output.
2706 Fixes spurious failure of depcomp2.test.
2708 2011-01-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2710 Avoid testsuite failures due to Autoconf Fortran change.
2711 Autoconf v2.68-21-g727ce95 causes AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS to
2712 require computing the canonical host name. Ensure config.guess
2713 and config.sub files are present for respective checks.
2714 * tests/compile_f_c_cxx.test: Add stub files.
2715 * tests/flibs.test: Likewise.
2716 * tests/fort4.test: Use $AUTOMAKE -a for installing files.

2720 docs: clustered '-d' not recognized in YFLAGS
2721 This change fixes automake bug#7828.

2768 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2770 tests: more consistent checks about invalid options
2771 * tests/aclocal.test: Grepping of automake stderr for messages
2772 reporting invalid options made stricter.
2773 * tests/no-outdir-option.test: Likewise. Also, create a dummy
2774 `Makefile.am', to ensure that the automake failures are really
2775 caused only by unrecognized options.
2776 * tests/automake.test: Added trailing `:' command. Removed
2777 redundant checks on `--help' and `--version' option (already
2778 performed in the test `help*.test').
2780 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2782 tests: enable 'errexit' shell flag by default.

2792 tests: work around a texi+cygnus bug causing a spurious XFAIL
2793 * tests/txinfo5b.test: New test, like txinfo5.test but calling
2794 automake with the `-Wno-override' option to work around a bug
2795 in the texinfo + cygnus interaction.
2796 * tests/txinfo5.test: Update heading comments.
2797 * tests/Makefile.am (TEST): Updated.
2799 2011-01-09 Dave Hart <davehart@gmail.com> (tiny change)

2811 tests: texinfo unrecognized extensions
2812 * tests/txinfo-unrecognized-extension.test: New test.
2813 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
2815 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
2816 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
2817 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
2818 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
2819 uselessly run it in a subshell.
2820 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
2821 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
2822 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
2824 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
2826 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
2827 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
2828 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
2829 Makefile.in stricter.
2830 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
2831 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
2833 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
2834 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
2835 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
2836 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
2837 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
2838 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
2839 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
2840 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
2841 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
2842 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
2843 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
2844 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
2845 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
2846 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
2847 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
2848 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
2849 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
2850 so they have been moved ...
2851 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
2852 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
2853 trailing `:' command.
2854 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
2855 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
2856 append to configure.in.
2857 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
2858 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
2859 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
2860 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
2861 minor cosmetic improvements.
2862 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
2863 trailing `:' command.
2864 * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.
2865 * tests/vtexi4.test: Likewise.
2866 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

2870 tests: fix spurious failure in 'tests/yflags-conditional.test'
2871 * tests/yflags-conditional.test: Filter out message "warnings are
2872 treated as errors" from automake stderr, to avoid a false positive
2873 when grepping for extraneous warning messages.
2875 2011-01-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

2879 * automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Warn if any of the relevant
2880 *YFLAGS variables has conditional contents (not only a conditional
2881 definition). Related refactoring.
2883 * tests/yflags-conditional.test: Updated and extended.
2884 * tests/yflags-conditional-force.test: New test.
2885 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
2887 2011-01-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2889 yacc: support variable expansions in *YFLAGS definition.
2890 This change fixes automake bug#7800.
2891 * automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Use 'value_as_list_recursive'
2892 instead of 'variable_value' to get the value of *YFLAGS variables.
2894 ($DASH_D_PATTERN): Removed.
2895 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove yflags-var-expand.test.
2896 * tests/yacc-clean.test: Remove workaround for now-fixed bug.
2899 2011-01-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2901 yacc: more tests on *YFLAGS support
2902 * tests/yflags-var-expand.test: New test, still xfailing. It
2903 exposes automake bug#7800 -- "automake fails to honor `-d' in
2904 AM_YFLAGS when variable expansions are involved".
2905 * tests/yflags-d-false-positive.test: New test, checking that
2906 automake do not spuriously see `-d' in *YFLAGS when that isn't
2908 * tests/yflags-force-override.test: New test, checking that
2909 automake can cope with definition of the YFLAGS variable in
2910 Makefile.am (even if that is an extremely bad practice, as that
2911 variable is user-reserved).
2912 * tests/yflags-cmdline-override.test: New test, checking that
2913 automake can cope with user-redefinition of YFLAGS at configure
2914 time and/or at make time.
2915 * tests/yflags-conditional.test: New test, checks that automake
2916 warns on conditionally-defined *YFLAGS variables.
2917 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS, XFAIL_TESTS): Update.
2919 2011-01-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2921 yacc: extend and improve tests
2922 * tests/yacc-basic.test: Also check that the intermediate C file
2923 is mentioned in the generated Makefile.in, and that it is created
2924 by the first make invocation.
2925 * tests/yacc3.test: Test removed, superseded by ...
2926 * tests/yacc-d-basic.test: ... this new test.
2927 * tests/yacc2.test: Add reference to that new test in the heading
2929 * tests/yacc-d-vpath.test: New test.
2930 * tests/yaccvpath.test: Updated heading comments. Do not require
2931 gcc anymore, as any working C compiler should be enough. Remove
2933 * tests/yacc-nodist.test: New test.
2934 * tests/yacc-dist-nobuild.test: New test.
2935 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
2937 2010-12-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2939 Extend, fix and improve tests on Lex and Yacc support.
2940 * tests/lexcpp.test: New test script, on support for Lex + C++.
2941 * tests/lexvpath.test: New test script, test build and rebuild
2942 rules for lexers in VPATH setup.
2943 * tests/yacc-basic.test: New test script, run simple "semantic"
2944 checks on basic Yacc support (similarly to what lex3.test does
2946 * tests/lex.test: Don't create useless dummy source file joe.l.
2947 Remove extra blank lines.
2948 * tests/lex4.test: Add trailing `:' command. Do not create dummy
2949 useless lex source file.
2950 * tests/lex2.test: Likewise. Call automake with the `-a' option,
2951 so that it doesn't fail for the absence of `ylwrap' script. Make
2952 grepping of automake stderr stricter.
2953 * tests/yacc7.test: Add trailing `:' command. Enable `errexit'
2954 shell flag earlier (just after having sourced ./defs).
2955 * tests/yacc4.test: Likewise. Also ...
2956 (configure.in): Use pre-populated skeleton set up by ./defs,
2957 instead of writing one from scratch.
2958 Other minor cosmetic changes.
2959 * tests/yacc5.test: Likewise.
2960 * tests/yaccvpath.test: Likewise. Also ...
2961 ($distdir): New variable.
2963 * tests/lex5.test: Likewise.
2964 * tests/lex3.test: Likewise. Check the distdir, rather than
2965 grepping the distribution tarball. Extend the test on the
2966 created binary, and be sure to avoid hangs. Add some comments.
2967 * tests/yacc.test: Use stricter grepping. Add trailing `:'.
2968 * tests/yacc6.test: Likewise.
2969 * tests/yacc3.test: Likewise. Do not create the unused file
2970 `Makefile.sed'. Remove useless rules from Makefile.am. Other
2971 minor cosmetic changes.
2972 * tests/yacc2.test: Make grepping of generated `Makefile.in' and
2973 of automake error messages stricter. Do not redirect output of
2974 grep to /dev/null. Move call to aclocal earlier. Reduce the
2975 number of empty blank lines. Fix a typo in comments.
2976 * tests/yacc8.test: Fixed bugs that reduced the completeness of
2977 the tests. Added trailing `:' command.
2978 (configure.in): Use pre-populated skeleton set up by ./defs,
2979 instead of writing one from scratch.
2980 * tests/yaccpp.test: Test also extensions `.y++', `.ypp', and
2981 `.yxx', rather than only `.yy'.
2982 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

3001 Add test coverage for deleted header files.
3002 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Update tests to
3003 also check for the deleted header bug. If no dependency
3004 tracking mechanism could be found, SKIP rather than exit
3005 successfully. Use GNU style spacing and ANSI C prototypes.

3027 yacc: "make clean" removes .c and .h files from non-distributed .y
3028 Previously, while automake did *not* distribute C source and header
3029 files derived from non-distributed Yacc sources, it still caused
3030 them to be removed only by "make maintainer-clean" only, and not by
3031 simply "make clean" or "make distclean".
3032 This caused "make distcheck" to fail, unless the developer put
3033 those generated .c and .h files in CLEANFILES or in DISTCLEANFILES
3035 This change fixes this issue, by making non-distributed `.c' and
3036 `.h' files generated by non-distributed Yacc sources cleaned by
3038 * tests/automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Make C source and
3039 header files derived from non-distributed Yacc files cleaned by
3040 "make clean", not only by "make maintainer-clean".
3041 * tests/yacc-clean.test: New test.

3083 hunk has been forgotten somehow).
3084 * tests/output.test: Likewise.
3085 * tests/gnits2.test: Likewise, and display captured stderr to
3086 script's stderr, not to script's stdout.

3088 to append to Makefile.am, and really check that the exit status
3089 of "make installcheck" indicates failure.
3091 2011-01-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3093 Sync auxiliary files from upstream.

3117 Improve and extend tests `suffix*.test'.
3118 * tests/suffix.test: Check that suffix rules for C compilation are
3119 only included once. Try also with a static library.
3120 * tests/suffix2.test: Add a new grep to help potential debugging.
3121 Do not run automake with the `--add-missing' options, since we
3122 already create all the needed auxiliary files. Try also *without*
3123 the `no-dependencies' automake option.
3124 * tests/suffix4.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.
3125 * tests/suffix3.test: Rewritten to run also autoconf, ./configure
3127 * tests/suffix5.test: Likewise.
3128 * tests/suffix6.test: Fix botched recipe indentation (eight spaces
3129 were used instead of a tabulation character). Extend to check
3130 that `.obj' is handled like `.$(OBJEXT)' (as is done for `.o').
3131 Improved parsing & grepping of generated Makefile.in. Other minor
3132 fixes and improvements.
3133 * tests/suffix10.test: Move some checks in Makefile.am. Also run
3135 * tests/suffix12.test: Likewise, and account for VPATH issues in

3195 2010-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3197 Fix parallel testsuite run with Zsh.
3198 This change deals with a Zsh incompatibility in the handling
3199 of the special shell variable `$0' in sourced files; this
3200 incompatibility used to cause utter breakage when the
3201 Automake testsuite was run in parallel mode with Zsh as
3202 the $(TEST_LOG_COMPILER).
3203 For more information, please refer to the thread "Fix parallel
3204 testsuite run with zsh" on automake-patches, dated 2010-12-22:
3205 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2010-12/msg00135.html>
3206 This change works around the problems described above for Zsh 4.3
3207 or later, and offers better error messages (instead of random
3208 failures) for earlier Zsh version.
3209 * tests/README (Supported shells): When describing the manual
3210 workaround about the Zsh incompatibility in the handling of `$0',
3211 tell that it is now needed only with Zsh versions preceding 4.3.
3212 Done also some minor rewordings.
3213 * tests/defs-static.in ($argv0): New variable, offers a workaround
3214 for the Zsh incompatibility in the handling of `$0'.
3215 Abort if that variable cannot be correctly set (can happen only
3216 in older Zsh version).
3217 * tests/defs ($me): Define using `$argv0', not `$0'.
3219 2010-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3221 Tests defs: keep track of original $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL values.
3222 This is especially useful for tests which might want to run
3223 automake and aclocal without additional flags and warnings.

3225 ($original_AUTOMAKE): Likewise.
3226 * tests/help.test: Use them.

3234 distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
3235 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
3236 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
3237 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
3238 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
3239 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
3240 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:
3241 - 2010-11-15, "Testsuite failures on HP-UX 11.23",

3266 Fix sed-related buglet in test "subdir5.test"

3273 Fix spurious failures in tests on AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR.

3275 `install-sh' and `missing'. This avoid spurious failures in "make
3276 distcheck", when those files might be copied as read-only from the
3278 * tests/auxdir8.test: Likewise.

3282 Make test 'posixsubst-script' portable to MinGW/MSYS.

3285 limitation of 'test -x' on MinGW/MSYS.
3286 Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
3288 Improve comments in tests `posixsubst*.test'.

3557 Make tests `colon*.test' more "semantic".

3723 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
3724 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
3725 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
3726 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
3727 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
3728 tests that force gcc depmode.
3729 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.

3800 * tests/silent3.test: Removed useless call to "make distclean".
3801 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
3802 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
3804 2010-11-19 Ian Lance Taylor <iant@google.com>
3806 Sync config-ml.in from GCC.
3807 * config-ml.in: Add Go support: treat GOC and GOCFLAGS like other
3808 compiler/flag environment variables.
3810 2010-11-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3812 release-stats: account for more generated tests.
3813 * Makefile.am (release-stats): Be sure to take into account all
3814 the generated tests, by grepping the test scripts to decide which
3815 ones of them are automatically generated.
3817 2010-11-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3819 Code cleanup after removal of option `--output-directory'.
3820 * automake.in ($output_directory): Remove, it's unconditionally
3821 defined to `.' and used only ...
3822 (generate_makefile): ... in this subroutine, which now has been
3823 edited and simplified accordingly.
3825 Remove obsolete automake option `--output-directory'.
3826 This option has been deprecated since version 1.7 (2002/2003).
3827 * automake.in ($output_directory): Define to `.' unconditionally.
3828 (parse_arguments): Remove handling of equivalent options `-o' and
3829 `--output-directory'.
3830 * tests/outdir.test: Removed.
3831 * tests/no-outdir-option.test: New test.
3832 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
3835 2010-11-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3837 Automake::Config: remove extra trailing semicolon.
3838 * lib/Automake/Config.in: Remove extra trailing semicolon.
3840 help4.test: fix botched heading comment.
3841 * tests/help4.test: Fixed the heading comment, since it
3842 didn't correctly describe what checks the testcase was
3843 supposed to perform.
3845 help2.test: add checks on aclocal too.
3846 * tests/help2.test: Check that also `aclocal --version' and
3847 `aclocal --help' work with configure.in and acinclude.m4 both
3850 2010-11-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3852 New test on repeated automake options.
3853 * tests/repeated-options.test: New test, check that automake
3854 does not complain on repeated options, nor generate broken or
3855 incorrect makefiles.
3856 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
3858 2010-11-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3860 Fix spurious failures of silent-rules tests with Sun Fortran.
3861 * tests/silentf77.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
3862 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers, to
3863 avoid spurious failures. Add a trailing `:' command.
3864 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
3866 2010-11-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3868 Fix spurious failures of silent5.test with Sun Fortran.
3869 * tests/silent5.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
3870 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers,
3871 to avoid spurious failures. This bug has been there from the
3872 very first version of this test script.
3874 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3876 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
3877 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
3878 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
3879 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
3880 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
3881 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
3882 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
3883 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
3886 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3888 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
3889 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
3890 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
3891 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
3892 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
3893 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
3894 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
3895 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
3897 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3899 backcompat5.test: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
3900 * tests/backcompat5.test: Remove double-hash comments
3901 from makefile rule commands, they are not part of the
3902 Automake API. Fixes testsuite failure with Tru64 make.
3904 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
3905 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
3906 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
3907 are not part of the Automake API.
3909 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3911 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
3912 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
3913 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
3915 2010-11-16 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
3917 Skip MSVC oriented tests if the shell is not capable.
3918 * tests/defs: New required entry 'xsi-shell'.
3919 * tests/ar-lib.test, tests/compile3.test, tests/compile6.test:
3920 Require a XSI capable shell.
3921 Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
3923 2010-11-15 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
3925 compile: clear the `eat' variable earlier.
3926 * lib/compile: Clear the `eat' variable earlier.
3927 ($scriptversion): Update.
3928 * tests/compile3.test: Prevent regressions.
3930 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3932 More stable configure output from sanity check.
3933 * m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): Always print check line
3934 about ensuring newer files, even if we don't actually need
3937 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3939 Rebuild menus in the manual.
3940 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
3941 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
3943 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
3944 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use
3945 separate sub-make invocations for empty and nonempty $(STRIP),
3946 to fix quoting issues.
3947 * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.
3948 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust.
3950 2010-11-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3952 Fix yaccdry.test failure: require bison.
3953 * tests/yaccdry.test: Require bison.
3954 Found by NixOS Hydra.
3956 2010-11-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3958 Fix bug in test `backcompat6.test' (MSYS portability).
3959 * tests/backcompat6.test (Makefile.am): Grep the output from the
3960 test program, rather than diffing it, to avoid spurious failures
3961 on MinGW/MSYS due to LF vs. CRLF line endings.
3962 Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
3964 2010-11-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3966 Deprecate obsolete macro AM_WITH_REGEX.
3967 * m4/regex.m4: Document the `AM_WITH_REGEX' macro as obsolete,
3968 and state that it should be removed two years from now.
3969 (AM_WITH_REGEX): Raise an m4-time warning of the "obsolete"
3970 category when this macro is used.
3971 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros): Move description of
3972 `AM_WITH_REGEX' from here ...
3973 (Obsolete Macros): ... to here, and declare it as obsolete
3974 and "to be removed in a future version".
3975 * tests/regex-obsolete.test: New test.
3976 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
3978 2010-11-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3980 Improve and extend tests on man pages support.
3981 * tests/man.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related changes.
3982 Make grepping of generated Makefile.in slightly stricter.
3983 * tests/man3.test: Add trailing `:' command.
3984 * tests/man5.test: Prefer cat + here-doc over echo to append to
3986 * tests/man2.test: Likewise, and add trailing `:' command.
3987 * tests/man4.test: More thorough and consistent checking of make
3988 error messages. Place fake `help2man' program in a new `bin'
3989 directory rather than in `.'. Move the checks using the real
3990 `help2man' program to ...
3991 * tests/man6.test: ... this new test, and extend them. This test
3992 passes with GNU make and Solaris make, still fails with BSD make.
3993 * tests/man7.test: New test, extracted from old man4.test, which
3994 checks for a bug in maintainer-clean w.r.t. generated manpages.
3995 * tests/man8.test: New test, extracted from old man4.test, which
3996 checks for a bug in distcheck w.r.t. generated manpages. Passes
3997 with GNU make and Solaris make, still fails with BSD make.
3999 2010-11-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
4001 Minor improvements and extensions to various tests.
4002 * tests/defun.test: Also run autoconf and grep the generated
4003 configure to make sure that aclocal truly picks up all the
4005 * tests/compile_f_c_cxx.test: Prefer trailing `:' over trailing
4006 `Exit 0'. Do not create useless dummy source files. Do not set
4007 useless `$(foo_LDADD)' variable in `Makefile.am'. Do not call
4008 useless macro `AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS' in `configure.in'.
4009 * tests/compile_f90_c_cxx.test: Likewise.
4010 * tests/suffix10.test: Slightly stricter grepping of make output.
4011 * tests/compile.test: Add trailing `:' command.
4012 * tests/defun2.test: Likewise.
4013 * tests/vars3.test: Likewise.
4014 * tests/vartar.test: Likewise.
4015 * tests/vars.test: Likewise. Also, extend test by checking
4016 that the definition of `MY_FLAGS*' variables is preserved in
4017 the generated `Makefile.in'.
4018 * tests/stamph2.test: Prefer trailing `:' over trailing `Exit 0'.
4019 Use proper m4 quoting in `configure.in'.
4021 2010-11-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
4023 Tests defs: improve messages for skipped tests.
4024 * tests/defs: Give meaningful messages about the reasons of a
4025 test skip; this is especially useful as this file is run without
4026 verbose xtraces on. Related reorderings in the code and new
4029 2010-11-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
4031 Tests defs: move static definitions in a new file `defs-static'.
4032 The new file is meant to be idempotent w.r.t. multiple inclusions.
4033 * tests/defs.in: Removed, its contents split among ...
4034 * tests/defs-static.in: ... this new file ...
4035 * tests/defs: ... and this new file, including the former.
4036 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove `tests/defs', add
4037 `tests/defs-static'.
4038 (AC_CONFIG_LINKS): Add `tests/defs'.
4039 * tests/Makefile.am ($(parallel_tests)): Update.
4040 ($(instspc_tests)): Likewise.
4041 * tests/.gitignore: Update.
4043 Tests defs: $testsbuilddir is now AC_SUBST'ed.
4044 * tests/defs.in ($testsbuilddir): Substitute from @abs_builddir@.
4045 Add sanity check on $testsbuilddir, similar to those on
4046 $testsrcdir and $top_testsrcdir.
4048 Tests defs: do not print message "Running test $0" anymore.
4049 * tests/defs.in: Printing the message "=== Running test $0" at
4050 the beginning of each tests made sense when Automake used the old
4051 test-driver, which sent all the output directly to stdout/stderr.
4052 Now that the parallel test-driver is used, which saves output of
4053 each test in its corresponding log file, that old message is just
4056 Tests defs: rename $curdir -> $testbuilddir
4057 * tests/defs.in: Rename $curdir to $testbuildir, for clarity and
4058 consistency with $testsrcdir and $top_testsrcdir.
4060 Tests defs: prefer "$curdir" over "`pwd`".
4061 * tests/defs.in: We already save the value of `pwd` in $curdir
4062 early in the file, so there no need to recalculate it later, when
4063 the current working directory is not changed.
4065 Tests defs: use `$me' in more error messages.
4066 * tests/defs.in: Also use `$me' in error messages referring to
4067 missing `defs' or `defs.in', since that variable is now defined
4068 before those checks.
4070 Tests defs: do not use `Exit' where plain `exit' suffices.
4071 * tests/defs.in: Use "exit 77" rather than "Exit 77" to skip the
4072 test when required libtool/gettext macros are not found, since
4073 such skips would take place before the exit trap is installed.
4075 Tests defs: improve and extends comments.
4076 * tests/defs.in: Improve and extends some comments, especially in
4077 relation with the changes introduced by the previous reordering.
4079 Tests defs: various reorderings.
4080 * tests/defs.in: Reordered various snippets of code in a
4083 2010-11-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
4085 Fix bug in test `backcompat4.test' (stale autom4te cache).
4086 * tests/backcompat4.test: Remove stale autom4te cache directory
4087 before re-running aclocal and automake. Also, since we are at
4088 it, be more verbose in displaying contents of generated files,
4089 to ease debuggability.
4090 Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
4092 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
4094 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
4095 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
4096 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
4097 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
4098 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
4099 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
4100 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
4101 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
4102 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
4103 Reported by Andy Wingo.
4105 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
4107 Modernize, improve and/or tweak various test scripts.
4108 * tests/stamph2.test: Improve m4 quoting in `configure.in', and
4109 prefer trailing `:' over trailing `Exit 0'.
4110 * tests/syntax.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps.
4111 * tests/copy.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Extend test by
4112 checking with `test' utility that the script `install-sh' is
4113 copied, but not symlinked.
4114 * tests/depdist.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
4115 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Avoid obsoleted
4116 constructs in generated `configure.in'. Prefer to do our checks
4117 by running configure and make over grepping Makefile.in.
4118 * tests/target-cflags: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag
4119 earlier in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use the
4120 `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than writing it
4122 * tests/target-clash: Do not uselessly run autoconf.
4123 * tests/ctarget1.test: Renamed ...
4124 * tests/cond-basic.test: ... to this. Use the `configure.in' stub
4125 created by `./defs', rather than writing it from scratch.
4126 Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier in the script (just
4127 after inclusion of ./defs). Other minor cosmetic changes.
4128 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
4130 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
4132 New tests on obsoleted usages of automake/autoconf macros (such
4133 as AC_INIT, AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE and AC_OUTPUT).
4134 * tests/backcompat.test: New test script.
4135 * tests/backcompat2.test: Likewise.
4136 * tests/backcompat3.test: Likewise.
4137 * tests/backcompat4.test: Likewise.
4138 * tests/backcompat5.test: Likewise.
4139 * tests/backcompat6.test: Likewise.
4140 * tests/init.test: Extended and improved, esp. by trying more
4141 combinations of calls to AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE with few
4143 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
4145 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
4147 Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
4148 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
4149 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
4150 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
4151 of test `vala2.test'.
4153 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4155 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
4156 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
4157 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
4159 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
4160 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
4161 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
4162 and header remaking.
4163 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
4164 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
4165 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
4166 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
4167 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:
4169 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
4171 2010-11-05 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
4173 Fix potential bug in generated tests `instpc-*.test'.
4174 This bug is due to the changes introduced by the recently-merged
4175 "tests-init" branch. In that branch, `tests/defs' didn't define
4176 anymore `$srcdir', instead defining directly `$testsrcdir'; but
4177 the generated tests were using `$srcdir', hence the bug.
4178 Luckily, since the Automake parallel test driver automatically
4179 exports `srcdir' to a proper value, that prevented the bug from
4181 * tests/Makefile.am ($(instspc_tests)): In the generated test
4182 scripts, use `$testsrcdir', not `$srcdir'.
4184 2010-11-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
4186 Overhauled and modularized tests in `instspc.test'.
4187 The test `instspc.test' was way too big and fragile. Its running
4188 time was very long. It also produced a log that was nearly
4189 unreadable due to its length, making it very difficult to find
4190 out the reason for failures.
4191 Also, it was too much monolithic, with a single (maybe spurious)
4192 failure in a corner case causing the whole test to fail (even if
4193 everything worked as expected in the other 99% of cases).
4194 The present change should solve these problems, by separating
4195 `instspc.test' into many smaller, self-contained, auto-generated
4197 * tests/instspc.test: Removed.
4198 * tests/instspc-tests.sh: New script, fulfilling a double role:
4199 1. it generates a Makefile.am snippet `tests/instspc-tests.am',
4200 containing the definition of a list of new tests which will take
4201 over the older `instspc.test', and
4202 2. it is sourced by said generated tests with proper parameters
4203 pre-set, to run the "meat" of the checks.
4204 This apparent abuse is indeed required because the test generation
4205 code and test execution code are inevitably intertwined.
4206 * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/instspc-tests.am): Include this
4207 snippet, which (among the other things) defines ...
4208 (instspc_tests): ... this new macro, containing the list of the
4209 newly generated `instspc*.test' tests, and ...
4210 (instspc_xfail_tests): ... this new macro, containing the list
4211 of the `instspc*.test' tests expected to fail.
4212 ($(instspc_tests)): New rule, generates the `instspc*.test' tests.
4213 ($(instspc_tests:.test=.log)): New rule, registers the dependency
4214 of all `instspc*.test' tests on the `instspc-tests.sh' script.
4215 (TESTS): Add `$(instspc_tests)', remove `instspc.test'.
4216 (XFAIL_TESTS): Add `$(xfail_instspc_tests)'.
4217 (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute instspc-tests.sh.
4218 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Added $(instspc_tests).
4219 Other minor cosmetic changes.
4220 * bootstrap: Generate instspc-tests.am.
4221 * tests/.gitignore: Updated.
4223 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4225 Add FAQ entry for bug reporting instructions.
4226 * doc/automake.texi (Reporting Bugs): New section.
4227 (Introduction): Refer to it.
4229 2010-10-07 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
4231 depcomp: add new one-pass depmode for MSVC 7 and later.
4232 * lib/depcomp: Add new depmodes 'msvc7' and 'msvc7msys' which
4233 make use of the -showIncludes option added in MSVC 7.
4234 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Handle the new depmodes
4235 similarly to 'msvisualcpp' and 'msvcmsys' as MSVC does not
4236 support the -o option.
4238 2010-10-05 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
4240 dist-xz, dist-bzip2: don't hard-code -9: honor envvar settings
4241 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz): Do not hard-code xz's -9: that
4242 made it impossible to override. Instead, use its XZ_OPT envvar,
4243 defaulting to -9 if not defined. Thus no change in behavior
4244 when XZ_OPT is not set, and now, this rule honors the setting
4245 of that envvar when it is set. Suggested by Lasse Collin.
4246 (dist-bzip2): Likewise for it's corresponding envvar: BZIP2.
4247 * NEWS (Miscellaneous changes): Mention it.
4248 * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions): Describe the
4249 newly enabled environment variables.
4251 2010-10-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
4253 Add support for newer python versions.
4254 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python2.7 and python3.2 to
4255 _AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST. Since we are at it, break a long
4256 line and fix indentation.
4258 From a report by Thomas Klausner.
4260 Add test for `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' macro.
4261 * tests/dmalloc.test: New test.

4265 * tests/help4.test: Fix broken sed commands used to strip `-W...'
4266 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
4267 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
4268 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."

4274 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4276 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
4277 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
4278 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
4279 to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.
4280 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
4281 * tests/help3.test: Likewise.
4282 * tests/help4.test: Likewise.
4284 2010-10-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

4296 catch ordering violations.
4298 Document and fix expansion of variables before rules.
4299 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables
4300 are expanded before rules.
4301 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
4302 get matched as a rule.
4303 Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
4305 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4307 Coverage and minor fixes for variable typo detection.

4327 Suggested by Eric Blake.
4329 tests: avoid running into timing issues due to sanity change.
4330 * tests/acloca10.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal9.test:
4331 Insert strategic sleep before aclocal reruns, to ensure files
4333 * tests/python11.test: Use --force for repeated autotools runs.
4334 Reports from the NixOS Hydra build daemon via Ludovic Courtès.
4336 Fix timestamp issues by ensuring configure takes at least a second.
4337 * m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): If we didn't sleep here,
4338 start a sleep in the background and wait for it to finish
4339 before creating config.status, hopefully fixing all spurious
4340 testsuite failures involving botched time stamps.
4342 Reports by Ludovic Courtès, Peter Breitenlohner, and others.

4346 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
4347 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,
4348 because it re-opened the bug fixed by v1.11-10-g218e678.

4365 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
4366 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
4367 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
4368 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
4369 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
4370 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
4371 * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
4372 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
4373 * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
4374 `--version' take precedence on the other options.

4409 directories as a type of probably-unwanted files that are copied
4410 regardless when adding directories to EXTRA_DIST.
4411 (The dist Hook): Show a dist-hook example which removes Subversion

4417 Manual: index refer to target "git-dist", not "cvs-dist".
4418 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Index the non-standard
4419 example about "git-dist" under the "git-dist" label, not under
4422 Perl modules: remove references to "Automake CVS repository".
4423 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Update comments to refer to "Automke's

4435 m4/.cvsignore, tests/.cvsignore: Files deleted. Even when using
4436 savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
4437 the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or

4454 compile: implement library search to support MSVC static linking
4455 * lib/compile (func_cl_wrapper): Implement library search and
4456 -static option so that the user can select whether to prefer
4457 dll import libraries or static libraries. This enables MSVC to
4458 link against dlls generated by libtool without requiring libtool
4459 or workarounds such as -lfoo.dll etc. Makes the tests/static.at
4460 test case in libtool pass.

4515 that made the test useless. Since we are at it, improve
4516 comments and make grepping of generated Makefile.in slightly
4518 Regression introduced by change "Modernize, improve and/or
4519 extend tests `colon*.test" (Stefano Lattarini, 2010-08-08).
4521 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
4523 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
4524 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
4525 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in

4547 instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
4548 * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.

4699 file extension as C++, unless it's given a hint. So hint about
4700 .cc, .CC, .cxx, .CXX, c++ and C++. Also do path conversion on
4701 .c, .cpp, .CPP, .lib, .LIB and .Lib files.

4758 * tests/pr224.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
4759 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Do not export
4760 `CC=gcc' to configure explicitly (it's already exported globally
4761 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
4762 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
4763 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.
4764 README, NEWS), since we run automake in foreign mode anyway.
4765 * tests/pr72.test: Enable `errexit' shell flags, and related
4766 changes. Extend existing checks a bit.
4767 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise. Also, avoid obsolescent constructs in

4771 changes. Add a trailing `:' command. Also, do not create dummy
4772 files required by "gnu" mode (e.g. README, NEWS), since we run
4773 automake in foreign mode anyway.
4774 * tests/pr243.test: Avoid obsolescent constructs in the generated
4775 `configure.in'. Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
4776 changes. Cosmetic changes to spacing, add trailing `:' command,
4777 and add a "FIXME" comment.
4778 * tests/pr266.test: Likewise, and add explicit command line switch
4779 `--enable-dependency-tracking' to the ./configure call.
4780 * tests/pr279.test: Avoid obsolescent constructs in the generated
4781 `configure.in'; also, use the `configure.in' stub created by
4782 ./defs, rather than writing it from scratch. Enable `errexit'
4783 shell flag, and related changes. Add trailing `:' command.
4784 * tests/pr279-2.test: Likewise, and make grepping of Makefile.in
4786 * tests/pr307.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
4787 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Escape literal
4788 dots in grep regular expressions. Also, add a trailing `:'
4789 command, and cosmetic changes to spacing.

4866 disabled test (which didn't work with autoconf <= 2.59, but now we
4867 are requiring autoconf 2.62, so...)

4869 accordingly to "TODO" comments.
4870 * tests/conff2.test: Make grepping of Automake's stderr stricter.

4872 stub preset be ./defs.
4873 * tests/confh.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by ./defs,
4874 rather than writing one from scratch, and do not call AC_OUTPUT.

4900 * tests/depcomp.test: Do not create useless dummy source files.
4901 Add a trailing `:' command.
4902 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAGS variable to ensure
4903 it's not in in the environment, rather than exporting it with an
4904 empty value. Do not pass CC=gcc to configure, as that's already
4905 done in ./defs since we have gcc in $required. Ensure verbose
4906 printing of captured stderr, and normalize its checking. Add a
4907 trailing `:' command.
4908 * tests/depcomp3.test: Quote literal dots and dollar characters in
4909 grep regexps. Always use `: >' rather than `touch' to create empty

4959 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
4960 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
4961 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
4962 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".
4963 (configure.in): Normalize the call to AC_INIT w.r.t. other tests.
4964 (Makefile.am): Explicitly mark target "print" as phony.
4965 * tests/subobj10.test: Removed duplicated call to `set -e'. Add

5040 2010-08-01 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
5042 Wrap some MSVC options in the compile script.
5043 * lib/compile: MSVC supports naming the output file, the option
5044 is just not called -o, so transform -o into the appropriate form
5045 for MSVC. Also wrap some other options while at it (-L, -l, -Wl,
5046 -Xlinker and -I) and convert file names to windows form where
5047 needed for those options to make MSVC more usable in an
5048 autotooled environment.

5079 Prompted by suggestion from Stefano Lattarini.
5081 Fix AM_COND_IF for gone-invalid condition shell expression.
5082 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): test contents of $COND_TRUE
5083 variable, rather than re-evaluating the shell expression for
5085 * tests/cond40.test: Extend test.
5088 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
5089 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty

5104 * tests/subdir4.test: Likewise.
5105 * tests/subdir3.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
5106 changes. Do not create useless dummy source files.
5107 * tests/subdir5.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in (in topdir
5108 and in subdirs) stricter. Some minor changes to keep it more
5109 in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.
5110 * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise (but with the related test being
5111 `subdir5.test' here).
5112 * tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.
5113 * tests/subdir9.test: Define and use new variable `$distdir'. Add
5114 trailing `:' command.
5115 * tests/subdir10.test: Cosmetic consistency-related change.
5116 * tests/subdirbuiltsources.test: Cosmetic changes in spacings.
5117 (configure.in): Use stub created by `./defs', rather than writing
5118 it from scratch. Do not use obsoleted and/or deprecated forms of
5119 autoconf/automake macros.
5121 Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
5122 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
5123 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
5124 * tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the
5125 Makefile.in twice, but save its output in an intermediate file
5126 instead. Make grepping of DIST_COMMON definition stricter.
5127 Display the content of more files, to ease debugging. Add a
5128 trailing `:' command. Improved heading comments w.r.t. sister
5130 * tests/distcom6.test: Likewise, and avoid to uselessly run

5136 Makefile.am as `.PHONY'. Display content of more files, to ease
5137 debugging. Add trailing `:' command.
5138 * tests/distcom5.test: Likewise. Also, factor out common sed
5139 script in subroutine `extract_distcommon'.

5151 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
5153 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
5154 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
5155 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
5156 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
5157 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
5158 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
5159 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
5161 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
5162 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
5163 writing one from scratch.

5175 home page and GNU general help page.
5176 * automake.in (usage): Likewise.

5194 * tests/silent5.test: Use $EGREP, not $GREP (which is not even
5197 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
5198 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
5199 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
5200 already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
5201 * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
5202 * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.
5203 * tests/lex3.test (Makefile.am): Similarly, remove useless use
5204 of `foreign' option in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.

5215 2010-06-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
5217 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
5218 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
5219 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
5221 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
5223 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause
5224 `make dist' to fail.
5225 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: New test.
5226 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
5228 2010-06-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
5230 Fix minor testsuite issues, update docs, for Yacc/Lex changes.
5231 * doc/automake.texi (Yacc and Lex): Mention AM_YFLAGS, YFLAGS
5232 and AM_LFLAGS, LFLAGS in the order in which they now appear in
5235 * tests/lflags.test, tests/lflags2.test, tests/yflags.test,
5236 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
5237 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
5238 declaration, to please compilers.
5240 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
5242 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
5243 $(FLAGS) precedence.
5244 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
5245 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
5246 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
5247 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
5250 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
5251 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.
5252 * tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes
5253 precedence over automake (AM_LFLAGS) and (foo_LFLAGS). Still
5255 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.
5256 * tests/yflags.test: New test, check that user $(YFLAGS) takes
5257 precedence over automake (AM_YFLAGS) and (foo_YFLAGS). Still
5259 * tests/yflags2.test: Likewise.
5260 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS, XFAIL_TESTS): Extended accordingly.
5262 2010-06-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

5267 * tests/suffix4.test: Likewise.
5268 * tests/suffix6.test: Likewise, and do not create a useless dummy
5270 * tests/suffix7.test: Likewise.
5271 * tests/suffix5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
5272 changes. Make grepping of Makefile.in slightly stricter.
5273 * tests/suffix.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
5274 changes. Also, do not redirect grep output to /dev/null, as this
5275 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
5276 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
5277 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
5278 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
5279 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
5280 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
5281 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.
5282 * tests/suffix8.test: Likewise. Also, drop useless call to the
5283 env(1) utility, and make grepping of make output stricter by using
5284 $FGREP rather than plain grep.
5285 * tests/suffix11.test: Likewise.
5286 * tests/suffix12.test: Likewise.
5287 * tests/suffix9.test: Prefer cat + here-doc over echo to append to
5288 the `configure.in' stub. Cosmetic changes.

5291 2010-06-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
5293 Add useful comment in test script ext.test.
5294 * tests/ext.test: Add a comment explaining why an apparently
5295 useless `if' statement is indeed required.
5297 2010-06-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
5299 Add useful comment in test script obsolete.test.
5300 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
5301 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.
5303 Normalize whitespaces in 'tests/Makefile.am'.
5304 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Use only spaces, not tabs, in the
5305 definition of this variable.
5307 Parallel tests generation: improve comments (tiny change).
5308 * tests/Makefile.am ($(parallel_tests)): Added useful comment to
5311 Tests defs: truly get rid of `$am_defs_included' (unused variable)
5312 * tests/defs.in ($am_defs_included): Remove, its now unused. It
5313 should have been removed in a previous changeset, but the removal
5314 was done only partially (oversight).
5316 2010-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
5318 Remove a couple of unneeded conditionals from tests.
5319 * tests/pr243.test, tests/pr266.test, tests/strip.test: No need
5320 for the FOOTEST conditional.
5322 2010-06-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
5324 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
5325 * tests/symlink3.test: Deleted, separated into two new, more
5327 * tests/forcemiss.test: ... this one ...
5328 * tests/forcemiss2.test: ... and this one.
5329 * tests/symlink2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, make test
5330 stricter, and skip it if symlink creation is not supported.
5331 * tests/postproc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, related
5332 changes, and a couple of unrelated cosmetic changes.
5333 * tests/recurs.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
5334 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Make grepping
5335 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
5336 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
5337 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
5338 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
5339 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
5341 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
5342 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
5343 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').
5344 Avoid to explicitly export CC for configure (that's already done
5345 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
5346 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.
5347 * tests/substre2.test: Ensure verbose printing of the captured
5348 make's output, and make its grepping slightly stricter.

5350 changes. Also, do not create useless dummy source/data files.
5351 * tests/scripts.test: Likewise.

5356 Modernize, improve and/or fix tests `pluseq*.test.
5357 * tests/pluseq5.test: Append to configure.in using cat with an
5358 here-doc, not using echo.
5359 * tests/pluseq10.test: Make sure that the captured output of
5360 `make' command is always displayed. Where possible, use $FGREP
5361 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
5362 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
5364 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
5365 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.
5366 * tests/pluseq2.test: Likewise. Also, append to configure.in
5367 using cat with an here-doc, not using echo.
5368 * tests/pluseq3.test: Likewise.
5369 * tests/pluseq4.test: Likewise.
5370 * tests/pluseq6.test: Likewise.
5371 * tests/pluseq7.test: Do not create useless dummy source file.
5372 * tests/pluseq9.test: Slightly extended w.r.t. the grepping of

5382 Testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured stderr.
5383 * tests/acloca18.test: Print captured stderr before either failing
5384 or grepping it. Be sure to send captured stderr to stderr, not to
5386 * tests/ansi3b.test: Likewise.
5387 * tests/cond39.test: Likewise.
5388 * tests/configure.test: Likewise.
5389 * tests/missing3.test: Likewise.
5390 * tests/missing6.test: Likewise.
5391 * tests/output-order.test: Likewise.
5392 * tests/pr300-ltlib.test: Likewise.

5397 * tests/subobj.test: Likewise.
5398 * tests/vars3.test: Likewise.
5399 * tests/missing4.test: Likewise, and fix a call to grep not to use
5401 * tests/ansi3.test: Likewise, and rely on the `configure.in' stub
5402 created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
5404 Enable `errexit' shell flag in various tests.

5417 related changes. Do some cosmetic improvements in the generated
5418 `configure.in' file.

5420 * tests/cond14.test: Likewise.
5421 * tests/condinc.test: Likewise.

5423 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am.
5424 * tests/ansi.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
5425 changes. Extended, esp. by running autoconf, ./configure and
5426 make, and by looking into the distdir.
5428 2010-06-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
5429 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
5431 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
5432 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
5433 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
5434 test scripts can indeed be useful.
5436 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
5438 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.
5439 * bootstrap: Determine what the PATH separator is the same way
5442 Minor improvements in bootstrap script.
5443 * bootstrap: Consistently use two-spaces indentation. Cosmetic
5444 improvement to comments.
5445 ($me): New variable, containing program basename.
5446 Prepend it to all error messages.
5448 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
5449 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
5450 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
5451 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
5452 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
5453 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
5455 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
5457 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
5458 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
5459 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
5460 * tests/depend2.test: Likewise. Also, call `set -e' just after
5461 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
5462 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
5463 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
5464 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
5465 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
5466 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
5467 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
5468 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,
5469 rather than in the middle.

5476 changes. Also, modernize the generated configure.in.
5477 * tests/cond9.test: Likewise. Also, rely on the `configure.in'
5478 stub created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
5479 * tests/cond10.test: Likewise.
5480 * tests/depcomp2.test: Likewise.
5481 * tests/depend3.test: Likewise.
5482 * tests/distcom7.test: Likewise.
5483 * tests/fortdep.test: Likewise. Also, remove definition of
5484 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am,
5485 since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
5486 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
5487 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
5488 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.
5489 * tests/python2.test: Improved verbose messages.
5491 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
5492 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly.

5498 Fix error in generation of parallel tests.
5499 * tests/defs.in ($am_skip_defs): New variable, to be used when
5500 ./defs must be sourced multiple times. If set, unset it and
5501 only define $srcdir; otherwise, also go through the rest of
5503 ($am_defs_included): Remove, no more needed.
5504 * tests/Makefile.am ($(parallel_tests)): Update accordingly,
5505 using only $srcdir from defs.
5506 Fixes potential test failures of tests that use $required.
5508 2010-06-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
5510 Enable `errexit' shell flag in some test scripts.

5532 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
5534 Improve declaration of dependencies in the testsuite.
5535 * tests/Makefile.am (check_SCRIPTS): Remove. Instead, let ...
5536 ($(TEST_LOGS)): ... all test logs depend on the scripts.
5537 * test/gen-parallel-tests: For each parallel test foo-p.test,
5538 let `foo-p.log' also depend on `foo.test', since it is sourced.
5540 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
5542 Coverage for TAGS_DEPENDENCIES warning.
5543 * tests/tags2.test: New test.

5562 the verbose log contains all output.
5563 * tests/mdate.test: Likewise.
5564 Prompted by Stefano Lattarini's change to discover.test.
5566 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
5568 More minor message fixes.
5569 * aclocal.in (scan_file): Fix recommended info command line.

5605 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
5606 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
5607 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
5608 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
5609 known extension EXT.

5712 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
5713 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
5715 Improved test silent5.test.
5716 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
5717 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
5718 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
5719 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
5720 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
5721 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
5723 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
5724 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
5725 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
5726 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.

5729 * tests/silentcxx.test: New test.
5730 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
5732 New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc).
5733 * tests/silentyacc.test: New test.

5738 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
5740 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
5741 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
5742 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
5743 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).
5744 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.
5745 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise.
5746 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
5747 * tests/silent5.test: Likewise.

5750 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
5752 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
5753 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
5754 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
5755 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
5756 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
5758 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
5760 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
5761 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
5762 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
5763 double-quotes and backquotes.
5765 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
5767 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
5769 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
5770 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
5771 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
5772 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
5773 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
5774 eliminate such inconsistencies.
5775 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
5778 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
5780 Fix truncated comment in Makefile.am.

5788 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
5789 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
5790 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
5792 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
5793 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
5794 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
5797 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
5799 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
5800 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
5801 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
5803 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
5804 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
5805 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
5807 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
5808 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
5809 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
5810 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
5811 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
5813 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
5815 Warning and error message formatting cleanups.
5816 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments, main): Remove trailing period or
5817 newline in error or warning messages, avoid capitalization of
5818 the first word of a message.
5819 * automake.in (check_user_variables, handle_languages)
5820 (handle_ltlibraries, scan_aclocal_m4, scan_autoconf_config_files)
5821 (scan_autoconf_files, cond_stack_if, require_file_internal)
5822 (usage, generate_makefile, parse_arguments): Likewise.
5823 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm (set_strictness): Likewise.
5824 * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Likewise.
5825 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (set_strictness): Likewise.
5826 * lib/Automake/Rule.pm (define): Likewise.
5827 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, variables_dump): Likewise.
5828 * tests/ltinstloc.test, tests/suffix11.test: Adjust expected
5830 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (setup_channel): Reword error message
5831 to be the same as in msg.
5833 Fix placing of ellipses in English text and synopses.
5834 * Makefile.am: Be sure to add a space before `...' in natural

5845 * remove space before ellipsis.
5846 * aclocal.in (usage): Likewise. Also, fix indentation.
5848 Fix more duplicate message prefixes.
5849 * lib/Automake/XFile.pm (seek): Do not prepend $me.
5850 ($me): Remove now-unused package-global.
5851 * aclocal.in (check_acinclude): Remove duplicate 'warning: '
5855 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
5856 missing closing parenthesis.
5858 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
5859 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
5860 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
5862 2010-04-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
5864 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
5865 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
5868 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
5870 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
5871 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
5872 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
5873 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
5876 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
5878 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
5879 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
5880 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
5881 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
5882 Also, bumped the copyright years.
5884 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
5885 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
5886 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
5888 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
5889 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
5890 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
5891 Also, bumped copyright years.
5893 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
5895 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
5896 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
5897 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
5899 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
5900 * tests/configure.test: New test.
5901 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
5902 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
5904 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
5906 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
5907 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
5908 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
5909 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
5910 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
5911 cause the whole test to fail.
5913 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
5915 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
5916 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
5917 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
5919 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
5921 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
5922 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
5923 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
5924 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
5926 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
5928 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
5929 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
5931 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
5932 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
5935 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
5937 Print 'warnings are treated as errors' note if needed.
5938 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fix typo in comment.
5939 (_print_message): If -Werror is enabled, print a 'warnings are
5940 treated as errors' note before the first such warning.
5941 * tests/warnopts.test: Adjust comment to mention expected warning.
5942 Adjust code to ignore 'warnings are treated as errors' note.
5943 * tests/location.test: Adjust expected output with -Werror.
5944 * tests/werror4.test: New test.
5945 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
5948 Ensure we don't print 'warning:' or 'error:' twice.
5949 * Makefile.am (sc_ensure_testsuite_has_run): New helper rule.
5950 (sc_tests_logs_duplicate_prefixes): New rule, to check for
5951 wrong-looking warning and error messages in the test suite logs.
5952 * aclocal.in (scan_configure_dep, scan_file): Remove duplicate
5954 * tests/vars3.test: Rename variable to avoid false positive.
5956 Prepend type to warning, error, and fatal messages.
5957 For the first part of messages of types `error' or `fatal',
5958 prepend `error: ' to the message. Prepend `warning: ' to
5959 warning messages, whatever the setting of -Werror.
5960 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (partial): Move up definition.
5961 (_format_message): Emit `header' and `footer' strings only with
5962 the first resp. last part of a set of partial messages.
5963 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Add missing '1;' statement at the
5965 (Automake::ChannelDefs): Setup warning channels with header
5966 `warning: ', error and fatal messages with header `error: '.
5967 * tests/condinc2.test, tests/ltinstloc.test: Adjust expected
5969 * tests/comment5.test: Likewise. Also, include stack notes
5970 should not start with `error:'.
5971 * tests/location.test: Likewise. Also, try both -Werror and
5974 Report by Bruno Haible.
5976 Fix capitalization of error messages, reword one message.
5977 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define): Do not capitalize the first
5978 word in the error message.
5979 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Likewise. Also, reword
5980 and line-wrap for better readability.
5981 * tests/distcom7.test, tests/pluseq5.test, tests/pluseq9.test:
5984 Fix connected warnings about obsolete exeext override.
5985 * lib/Automake/Rule.pm (define): Merge two warnings that belong
5986 together, by setting the 'partial' flag for the first one.
5988 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
5989 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
5990 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
5991 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
5992 and unstable exit status values.
5993 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
5994 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
5995 $warnings_are_errors.
5996 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
5997 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
6000 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
6002 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
6003 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
6004 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
6005 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
6007 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
6008 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
6009 succeds unexpectedly.
6011 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
6012 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
6013 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
6014 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.

6020 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
6021 Report by Pavel Sanda.
6023 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
6025 Avoid possible false negatives in cond46.test.
6026 * tests/cond46.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag (and bumped
6027 copyright years). Due to this change, the testcase should now
6028 fail on unexpected failures in calls to $ACLOCAL/$AUTOMAKE (whose
6029 outcomes were previously unchecked), and on failures in grepping
6030 the expected diagnostic in Automake stderr.
6032 2010-04-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
6034 Generated tests are now just a thin layer around other tests.
6035 * tests/Makefile.am: Rewrite the rule to generate the `*-p.test'
6036 test scripts so that any of them simply includes the corresponding
6037 `*.test' script (after setting `$parallel_tests' to `yes').
6038 * tests/.gitignore: Add wildcard for temporary files used in the
6039 generation of `*-p.test' tests.
6041 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
6043 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
6044 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
6045 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
6048 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
6049 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
6050 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
6051 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
6054 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
6056 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
6057 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
6058 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
6059 Suggested by Karl Berry.
6061 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
6063 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
6064 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
6067 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
6069 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
6070 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
6071 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
6072 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
6073 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
6075 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
6076 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
6078 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
6079 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
6080 `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
6081 variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
6082 * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
6083 (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
6084 (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
6085 ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
6087 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
6089 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'
6090 then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p').
6091 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Likewise.
6092 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.
6093 * tests/parallel-tests4.test: Likewise.

6103 * tests/.gitignore (defs-p): Removed.
6105 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
6107 Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.
6108 * tests/color.test: Do not unset the `TESTS' variable, as it's
6109 already unset in the `defs' file.
6110 * tests/check5.test: Likewise.
6111 * tests/check8.test: Likewise.
6112 * tests/check9.test: Likewise.

6204 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
6205 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
6206 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
6207 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
6209 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
6210 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
6211 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
6212 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
6213 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
6214 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
6215 dependencies are enabled.
6216 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
6217 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
6218 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
6219 dependency tracking.
6220 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
6221 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
6222 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.

6226 Slighty improve tests acoutbs.test and acoutbs2.test.
6227 * tests/acoutbs2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Check that
6228 autoconf and configure work, that the file `zot' is created by
6229 configure, and that no file containing a backslash in its name is
6231 * tests/acoutbs.test: Likewise, plus updated copyright years.
6233 Fix test acoutbs2.test.
6234 * tests/acoutbs2: In the generated configure.in: add proper calls
6235 to AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, and remove explicit definition of
6236 PACKAGE and VERSION. Add a call to aclocal before calling automake.
6237 Updated copyright years.
6238 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Removed acoutbs2.test.
6240 Add forgotten test scripts to $(TESTS).
6241 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Added test scripts present on the
6242 filesystem, which were erroneously left out from $(TESTS):
6243 acoutbs2.test, badopt.test, extra2.test.
6244 (XFAIL_TESTS): Added acoutbs2.test.
